Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been updated to Version 9.0.0, bringing with it the latest addition to the roster in Minecraft’s Steve.

Anyone who’s bought Fighters Pass Vol. 2 will have access to Steve (alongside his Alex, Zombie and Enderman alts) once they update the game. If you haven’t already bought Fighters Pass Vol. 2 you can do so from the eShop. You can always pick up Steve separately if you don’t want to commit to the full six fighter pack of course.

Alongside the new content, there’s been a number of minor fixes and adjustments (which you can find below) as well as balance tweaks to the existing roster (which you can view in full here).
